Step 6: Coating the Coil leads

Step 7: Finalizing and Testing

1) Place coil on the terminal supports and turn switch to the on position. 2) Spin the coil to give it a start. ***** If the coil does n...

How to build a simple electric motor:

- An electric motor works by passing a current through a coil of wire. When the current passes through the coil it creates an electromagnetic dipole. A permanent magnet's magnetic field interacts with the dipole of the coil applying a torque to the coil. This torque is the force that makes the motor spin. In real electric motors there are complicated magnet and wire arrangements that enable the motor to be extremely efficient and powerful. The motor that you will be making is a simplified version of an electric motor and works on the same principles.

Very good! it helped me passed a science fair project!!! [RECOMMENDED!!!: dont chew gum during speech!! it makes you look awkward and could make someone hardly understand you with something in your mouth... <:-) ]
